The article analyzes the role of aristocracy in the dissemination and reception of Italian music and in the contacts with Italian musicians in Bohemia and Moravia from the second to the fourth decades of the 18th century. Four aristocrats already well known in the music history are observed in the form of three case studies. Knight/Baron/ Count Johann Hubert Hartig and Count Johann Adam Questenberg represent noble collectors, experienced musical experts and connoisseurs, whose role consists mainly in the transfer of repertoire of sacred music and oratorios in the first and the Italian opera in the second case. With the Count Wenzel Morzin, famous as the dedicatee of op. 8 by Antonio Vivaldi, we get into the realm of instrumental music and private music ensembles of the Bohemian nobility. Finally, the example of Olomouc Bishop Wolfgang Hannibal Cardinal Schrattenbach allows to follow the complex import of Italian music and culture, which included not only the repertoire, but also a large number of musicians.
